Keep an eye out for a White Torana number 312...thats the one I'm Driving/Navigating in. We take turns.....Murray Walker INSERT INTO post VALUES (MR Formula 1) and Chris amon are there this year. Brick may be back and theres a bunch of other celebs that Mike John of Targa hasnt released yet.
My Uncle and Mum are racing in his white escort Mk1 with forrest arches and a very trick engine. Should be a good run this year.

By the way I bought a Mitsi VR-4 yesterday....best bloody money I ever spent.

My names Hayden Searle. Hope to maybe catch up with some of ya's during Targa.

Well as promised here is my cell phone number 027 211 6004 Feel free to call me during Targa after 6pm to ensure we arent racing still. Actually keep it handy.....my Uncle is manager of an Appco Auto parts store so I should be able to help out with some cheaper parts :) I know my servicing is going to be cheaper. You can also ring just for a chat if you want to......no I'm not THAT lonely

If you would like to meet up after or on one of our lunch breaks I can tell you where we will be the next day.

I'll report back when I get back home to let you all know how it went. For those in NZ keep one eye on the news as last year our car was on more times than Peter Brock! Gotta love the white Torana.
